Andoni Iraola was on Wednesday, confirmed as Liverpool’s new manager.
Iraola has put pen to paper on a two-year deal at Anfield and replaces Arne Slot, who was sacked just a year after winning the Premier League.
Other candidates were considered, but Iraola was the only one spoken to. The club feel they have one of football’s best managers, which is proven by the interest in Iraola this summer. They were also impressed by Iraola’s desire to join them.
Liverpool also feel the 43-year-old is the best manager to make them more aggressive and implement a front-footed style.
Iraola and Bournemouth completed an 18-game unbeaten run during the second half of the 2025/26 Premier League season, leading to them securing a sixth-place finish and Europa League football.
They also finished just three points behind Liverpool in the table.
